Little things to upgrade your morning routine
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Always start your morning with a nice drink like a coffee, matcha, or tea.
Say good morning to your pets, you can also text your friends and maybe, make some plans!! <3
Set an alarm so you wake up on time and don't feel rushed, for me, it's usually enough to just sleep with my blinds open!! :)
Open your windows to let some fresh air in, also make sure to check if any of your plants need water!!
Make-up and music. I love doing my make-up while listening to one of my playlists, it's the perfect way to set the mood <3
Positive affirmations!! You can write them on sticky notes and put them on your mirror so you'll see them while getting ready!! :)
Prepare a cute outfit the night before, and make sure to check the weather so you can plan ahead!
Don't skip breakfast, If you are busy, you can meal prep some overnight oat or chia pudding the night before.
Try reading at least 10 pages in the morning, it will help you feel more refreshed.
Make sure to check your bag, so you don't forget things like your lip combo, keys, and headphones!! Nothing worse than sitting on the subway without headphones (me rn) :((
As always, please feel free to share your own suggestions and tips in the comments!! I hope you all have a beautiful Monday/Week <3
✩‧₊*:・love ya ・:*₊‧✩

10 tiny things that changed my life ₊˚⊹♡
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's so easy to get caught up in the big picture, but sometimes it's the little things that can make all the difference. Here are some small things that have changed my life for the better, and I hope they can do the same for you :)
1. The power of the to-do list.
I know, I know. You've probably heard this one a thousand times before. But seriously, hear me out. Writing down a to-do list the night before has totally changed the game for me. I mean, who wouldn't want to wake up knowing exactly what needs to be done, instead of running around like a headless chicken? (Been there, done that – not cute.)
And here's a pro tip: Make sure to prioritize your tasks. You know, so you can tackle the most important stuff first and avoid those nasty all-nighters.
2. Drinking water like it's my job.
Okay, I'll admit it. I used to be one of those girls who would choose a sugary drink over water any day. But let me tell you, staying hydrated has worked wonders for my skin, energy levels, and overall mood. So, drink up, ladies! Your body will thank you later.
3. Embracing the "two minute rule".
This one's a game-changer! If a task takes less than two minutes, just do it right away.
Say goodbye to those piles of clothes on the chair (you know the one), and hello to a cleaner, more organized life. Chef's kiss.
4. Learning to say "no" (politely, of course)
It's time to face the facts: We can't do it all. So, learning to say "no" to things that don't align with our priorities is absolutely essential. And guess what? It's totally okay to put yourself first sometimes. After all, you can't pour from an empty cup.
5. Feeling gratitude.
Practicing gratitude has made me appreciate the little things in life. I mean, who knew that writing down three things you're grateful for each day could have such a positive impact on your mood? (Hint: It's me – I'm telling you now!)
6. Rocking the "me time".
Self-care is everything! Taking time out for yourself – whether it's a bubble bath, binge-watching your favorite show, or reading a good book – can do wonders for your mental health. So, go ahead and indulge in some me-time.
7. The art of journaling (Dear Diary...)
Journaling isn't just for angsty teens, I promise. Writing down your thoughts and feelings can be super therapeutic, and it's a great way to work through any challenges you're facing. Plus, you'll have a written record of your life to look back on – and laugh (or cringe) at – later.
8. Surrounding yourself with positivity (good vibes only!)
You are the company you keep! Surround yourself with positive and uplifting people who support and encourage you. Trust me, life is way too short to hang out with people who bring you down. So, go ahead and build your group of amazing people who will cheer you on every step of the way.
9. Dancing it out.
You heard me – dancing is not just for parties! Crank up your favorite tunes and have a mini dance party in your room. It's a fun way to let off steam, boost your mood, and get a little cardio in (bonus!). Plus, who doesn't love feeling like the star of their own music video?
10. Embracing the beauty of imperfection.
Don't let perfect become the enemy of good. For most things in life, getting it done is better than getting it perfect.
And there you have it! Ten tiny things that have changed my life, and I'm sure they can do the same for you. So, go on and give them a try – you just might be surprised by how much of a difference these small changes can make. Cheers to a better, happier, and more fabulous life! ♡

am really considering doing a month long insta and youtube detox, i don’t mind tumblr and pinterest as much bc i’m not on there for too long at a time, it’s insta and youtube that are the rabbit holes
Hi! Do you have any advice to fight an internet addiction? I’ve been trying so much recently but it’s so difficult finding a balance with the digital life and the real one in a world so centered on social media and internet in general. Thank you in advance for your answer! ^_^
Logging Off
As always, I suggest reading Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport
Take an audit of all of your social media accounts and internet habits. Ask yourself why you use them so much.
Think of all the things you "don't have time for" on your to-do list or list of goals. Imagine if you had 2,3,4+ more hours a day to get them done. How much would your life improve? Your self esteem? Your overall happiness? Your bank account, perhaps?
Understand that FOMO is stupid and you're not missing out on anything. Oh no, you haven't seen that meme or missed that tweet that was viral for 12 hours! Oh the horror!!! You missed celebrity selfie #22977, oh how can you live with yourself!!
Tell your friends to text you rather than DM'ing you. Call your family members and catch up for real, rather than just occasionally perusing their profiles. Better yet, go visit people in person. Your bond will be significantly stronger than if you just exchange memes and likes sometimes.
Most people start with app timers or blockers. I used to recommend them, but I don't anymore. Not when you're first getting started. I think a proper detox for at LEAST a week is necessary. But honestly, if you've been addicted to the internet for several years, a week won't be enough. You need a detox of a month (or longer). Once your detox ends, that is when I recommend to use blockers/timers.
Log off, and don't come back until your 30 days is up.
Staying Logged Off
You can't just log off and then....stare at a wall??? You need to fill your newfound time with something to do.
First, make a schedule for your day. Have some structure in your life. Do the things you said you were gonna do, when you said you were gonna do it. No more guessing about your day. Make a schedule.
Add in more exercise, cleaning, maintenance of your physical appearance, studying, music practice, language learning, get to those online courses you saved, go visit people, take a class, read some books, pick up sewing, get back to drawing or painting, the list goes on and on. Have a mix of things you can do indoors and outside of the home. Easy low-effort things like having a book to grab at a moments notice, and more effort-needing things like extensive workouts. Basically, have a plethora of hobbies to fill your days. So many hobbies that take up time that you won't even be able to do them all in one day. You will have a full life.
Read up on the dangers of extended internet/social media usage. Read about snapchat dysmorphia, how being exposed to ads all day hurts us, the rise of mental health crises in our overly-plugged-in generation.
Being Happy In the Real World
Once you get rid of the compulsion to visit those apps/websites because you've gone long enough without accessing them, you won't think about it much. You'll have so many more important and interesting things going on that mindlessly scrolling won't be so appealing anymore.
But don't stop there. Keep expanding your horizons and finding more things to have an abundant life. Making new friends, dating, leveling up your skills, etc. Life can and will just get better and better and better.
You may find that you want to forgo some internet spaces completely and just delete those accounts. Great! For the ones you do decide to return to, set a schedule. An hour a day? Unlimited time but ONLY after you've completed your to-do list? Only online on the weekends? Find what works best for you.
Remember that existing only online is miserable. If your internet goes out and you are forced to be disconnected for a few hours, what's your life like? What do you have for yourself? Do you have friends that aren't pixels on a screen? Do you have achievements besides your 500 followers?

kindness 🐇
(something i’m still learning)
recently i’ve noticed that being kind is really hard, and being a bitch is pretty easy. not because we’re all evil at heart, and i’m not saying that we’re all going around being horrible to each other’s faces, but who hasn’t bitched about someone once? who hasn’t given a dirty look to someone they didn’t like? it’s natural, or at least if feels that way. because everyone does it, we feel that our actions are morally permissible. but i don’t think we should be kind for the sake of morality, i actually think that morality is an illusion but that’s a philosophical debate for another time, we should be kind because it is the best thing to be.
from a young age we get taught kindness in movies and books and tv shows and as we grow older we find that being kind doesn’t show immediate results. in fact, a lot of the time being kind leads to people taking advantage of your kindness and being mean. so you end up being mean back.
i used to pride myself on how harsh and cold i was, that i would never let anyone get to me, but i was insecure, afraid, and sad. my mum once told me i was ‘prickly’ like a cactus, and i was so proud of myself for that, as if it was a good thing that i would never let anyone get close to me. it’s still difficult not to revert back to my prickly nature a lot of the time, when somebody irritates me it’s hard not to say something snarky. and when i’m with my sisters it’s hard not to make risky, mean jokes for the sake of making them laugh. but i’m trying, and i’m trying for a few reasons:
i feel happier when i’ve done something kind. it’s a pretty selfish idea really, and one that isn’t new. but i’ve been so sick of feeling sad that i grasp onto anything that makes me happy, and going out of my way to be kind does that. giving money to a homeless person, volunteering to help out my parents and teachers more often, even smiling to people on the street. it’s a beautiful feeling, and one that i hope to develop.
the law of attraction. what you put out into the universe, the universe will give back to you in spades. when i was a mean, harsh person, i attracted mean, harsh people, which in turn would make me meaner and harsher, and so the cycle with continue. i don’t want to attract mean people, i want to attract kind people, so i will endeavor to be kind wherever possible.
being mean only showcases one’s own insecurities. when you’re mean about other people, you tend to feel worse about yourself. i want to feel beautiful and happy and light, negativity and cruelty drags down your energy. it’s almost like it shows in your face. i can tell i kind person from a mile away, same with a mean person. i want people to be able to tell that i am kind just by looking at me.
kindness is an act of bravery. as i mentioned before, being kind can sometimes mean that you’re faced with people who try to take advantage of your kindness. this has happened to my sister quite a few times, and it hurts me to see it. but kindness doesn’t mean cowardice. you can stand up for yourself and still be kind, and continuing to be kind throughout shows courage and strength of character.
to teach my children by example. i sometimes wonder if the reason why harshness comes so easily to me is because my mum showed me how to be harsh from a young age. i love my mum to bits, but i don’t have any memories of her being particularly selfless or generous. even though my dad shows these traits more, i am naturally more like my mum than not. i think that you can tell kids all you want to be kind, generous, selfless, etc. but if you don’t lead by example, they won’t do it, because they learn by copying you. so when i have children of my own i want to teach them good values by showing them.

stop taking life so serious, and finally feel free
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
life is not that serious, in fact, it is nothing more than a playground for you to play and experience whatever it is that you want to experience!
when you stop taking life so seriously and instead see life as a playground, a beautiful place, just for you to enjoy and entertain you, you let go of the limited self, and truly experience your true Self, the observer.
if you really think about it, you are seeing the trees, but who is acknowledging that they are there? the mind / the observer.
the mind is not a limited thing, it is a limitless formless entity, that cannot be described in imaginary words, who has put limitations on itself. let them go, and finally be free!
when you start to see everything as your own creation, thoughts, feelings, experiences, you realise how you have been limiting a limitless thing.
it is not your fault, the true you, the mind / the observer, decided to do this, but you now know the truth.
isn’t that truly amazing?! you see how beautiful this life actually is? created all by you. that bird singing in the spring? thats is YOU, appearing as a bird singing, it is your creation! its so beautiful really

Be one of those girls who stand up early, make their bed, do their skincare, hair and makeup, put on a pretty outfit, study hard, have a clean room, workout, eat healthy and drink only water and green tea
Be one of those confident, pretty and kind girls and let nobody bring you down

Water yourself, even in toxic environments. Groom yourself, even in toxic environments. Pamper yourself, even in toxic environments. We are nothing if not a sum of our habits. Don't wait to escape to start being who you deserve to be.

took a break for exams 🕊️
but i’m back and i’m still trying to improve so let me update you on some of the things i’ve been doing lately:
started crochet! ohmygosh it’s so fun, i’m making a little blanket with some pink ribbons on it, and i’m making a miffy plush - it’s so much fun and i’m so proud of myself for sticking with it and learning how to do it 🧶
started running more. this is still very new, but running has always felt really scary for me and it’s big that i’ve decided i’m going to start running every other day or so. i tried doing it every day but i really burned myself out so i’ve decided every other day with pilates in between is good for now. i really recommend the nhs couch to 5k app if you’re a beginner like me 💕
being a princess. this has always been an obsession but recently it’s really cranked up. i’ve been watching so many disney princess movies, listening to jane austen, listening to classical music and dancing around. i might to a full post about this but i’ve been having a bit of an existential crisis about what to do with my one chance at life, and it sounds silly so don’t laugh but all i really want to do is have a little cottage with a cat and a dog and some chickens and wear pretty dresses and dance around and have a family someday. that’s all. i just need to figure out how to get there ☁️
sanrio (but not just sanrio, bear with me) i really liked hello kitty when i was younger so i thought i’d rewatch some of the cartoons one day when i was feeling nostalgic. and it reminded me how lovely it is to see things from a child’s perspective. kid’s cartoons like hello kitty, strawberry shortcake, ever after high, etc. just sort of tell you to be kind, keep going, and push through hard times and everything will be okay. it’s a nice idea and it had a real effect on me. we consume so much sad shit all the time, i think it’s important to take time out of every day to listen to a positive message like that 🐰
doing things intuitively. for example, instead of being on a calorie deficit like i usually am, during exam season i tried eating intuitively because i’ve heard so much about it. at first it sucked bc i ended up feeling full and bloated more often, but soon i started to think: am i really hungry, or am i just worried the food won’t be there when i really want it? am i really hungry, or am i just bored? do i really need a sweet treat right now or am i just craving it because i’m walking past a shop? and soon i started to avoid overeating because i didn’t want to feel full, and whenever i was scared of my sisters eating something i would want to eat at some point i’d remind myself that i can go to the shops and get it if i really want to. and when i’m hungry i eat, and when i’m full i stop. it sounds so simple but it’s difficult to tune into your body that way. my relationship with food isn’t fixed by any means but i’m proud of myself for listening to my body 😁
so very good things over here from me. exams aren’t over, but i’ve gotten the worst out of the way. i’ve got so many fun plans for my last summer living at home and i’m so excited!
how are you guys doing? if you’re out there and you’ve found my blog recently, because i’ve noticed more activity over the pasts few days, who are you? what brought you here? what’s your journey?
kisses hugs and kisses 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚
